    The "OTHER" Taurus

    I've owned many Taurus guns and currently have 2 of their revolvers. I'm interested in a concealment carry 9mm and have spotted the Millenium PT111... It's a Taurus, I'm a fan, so that is a good thing. But who has experience carrying this pistol regularly? Can you comment on it's ride and...

    REpublic vz Democracy: Eye Opener

    One of our members uses this as his signature line: "'I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands!' Our Forefathers were brilliant for giving us a Republic, not a democracy! Do you know the difference and WHY?" I suppose this is...

    Bubba-izing Spanish Mauser...

    I have one of these from some years back. It has matching numbers but that is it. No crest, not even any caliber markings that I can find. My plan is to keep the wood stock but shape and finish it to sporter config, then Scout fit the thing, remove the front sight etc. 1. Does the lack of...

    .30-30Win/.30-30 Ackley Improved

    Im interested in the .30-30 Ackley Improved as an improvement over the .30-30 WCF. Many sources claim 250-300 fps, which takes the 150 gr bullet to nearly .300 Savage levels. The conversion is a simple re-ream and it's equally easy to make the brass for it by fireforming. And in a pinch, you...

    I confess to being a nimrod when it comes to turkey hunting, but Ive noticed one thing - most turkey guns are autoloaders. Why?

    Canadian gun laws... a Primer

    This from my friend Peter, in Newfoundland, Canada: Its more restrictive than you folks in the US but its not too bad I suppose. Most of the restrictions are on handguns and assault type weapons. With any firearms, you have to do a safety course. With rifles, once I have completed that...

    Hornady SSP in .35 Rem Marlin

    1. I know the SSP is designed to be softer for the Contender, to give improved expansion. Would there be enough benefit to loading it in the Marlin 336 2-up? 2. Would following the data for a T/C Contender result in better ballistics from the longer Marlin barrel? Somehow, it all seems like...

    .32 in Nagant revolver??

    I was poking around on some website recently, and they said that the .32 H&R Mag round can be readily fired in the Nagant revolvers common on the milsurp market these days. Is this true? Some of you will remember me whining over the fact that I never got a .32 H&R revolver when the getting...

    Gun Control is out in DC...

    An article in the current issue issue of USN&WR is of interest here. In summary, it has the advocates ogf gun control, the dems and liberals, failing fast when they side with gun control advocacy. As evidence, several pro gun initiatives are expeceted to pass the Congrees easily this session...

    Savage 340: Does anyone still love them?

    I've been making some decisions lately, as opposed to merely dreaming, :what: and I have fallen in some sort of infatuation with this gun. Those in the know and who were around when the earth was still flat, will recall that they were also sold as Stevens 325/Springfield 840. I want it in...

    Lets discuss the Taurus "Thunderbolt" rifles...

    I saw these on the Taurus website and fancied the idea. Has anybody gotten some experience with them? Are they of usual Taurus quality? Personally I like pump guns, which seem a natural extension of "things ergonomic". The thought of a "gallery gun" in .357 Mag just tickles me! Seems like...

    Savage 30-30 value. Help?

    One of the great users here at THR has a very nice Sav 474 in 30-30 and is offering it for sale. I am not up on such things and was wondering what the purchase value of such a thing would be. Most of you probably know the gun I mean, but I'll just describe it a bit. From the excellent...

    .32 H&R Mag defunct?

    I always the liked the caliber for camp use and all around pooping off. I never got one, though I coveted one for awhile. Are they still around? Does anyone here have one or more and what are your thoughts on the round?
